Drive up from the village streets of this lovely Catskill Mountain town, you’ll immediately feel the change in air and setting. Turn left from the town-maintained road onto your private, nearly 500 foot paved driveway. The reason for your joy will soon come into view. Carved from the mountain and set like a beacon overlooking the valley below, this custom-built cedar-sided home offers luxurious views, and luxurious living. Solid in every way, the 3+ bedroom, 3 bath is the definition of meticulously maintained. Constantly updated, there is literally nothing you will need to do other than move in.
Take, for example, the kitchen, with its non-porous, stain and scratch resistant Silestone Quartz counters and island. The solid wood cabinets, brilliant lighting, and undermount edgeless sink frame the all-stainless steel appliances (added in 2020). The house is regularly stained, most recently 2021. The roof is clad in 50-year architectural shingles from 2021, and in ’19 a new well pump installed…there is nothing you’ll need to do. And, with whole-house central AC, you will stay comfortable all year round.
The immaculate open living room has a 16 foot cathedral tongue and groove planked ceiling adding a warm glow to the room, which is echoed by the solid oak flooring. Towering windows, with views to the horizon, frame the cultured stone chimney venting a cast iron Jotul woodstove. The living room opens onto a 700+ sq foot deck providing a Catskill Mountain viewing platform 1400 ft above sea level. Three is also a wonderful rear deck looking at the mountainside and landscaping. Down below you can glimpse the Village of Downsville and Campbell and Baxter mountains in the distance.
The primary suite, (freshly painted) with a spectacular mountain vista, has comfy carpeted floors and “his and hers” closets, tiled bath, with 5×3 standing shower and sliding glass doors, dual-sink vanity, and picture-framed mirrors, accented by brilliant lighting.
2 additional bedrooms at the opposite end of the home both have oak floors, ceiling fans, large lighted closets, and beautiful windows. These rooms share a full bath with tub/shower, sliding glass doors and tiled floor. A fully built-out basement has a BONUS 4th bedroom (currently sewing room) den/music room, freezer room (freezer is for sale separately), walk-in coat closet, utility room, storage room, full bath with Jacuzzi tub with tiled stairs for easy access, sink and toilet, plus access to the built-in radon mitigation system. A 2+ car attached garage – lower level – provides climate controlled access to the house, as well as a terrific workshop. 27.13 acres of wonderful Catskill Mountain are yours to explore, including a 30 foot high seasonal water fall! You could literally roll down the hill to Downsville and the Pepacton dam and reservoir. Delhi, Andes, Margaretville and Roscoe are all short drives.
